Philippa's 2nd Birthday

Today was Philippa's 2nd Birthday but we celebrated on Sunday. At 2 you can still get away with this, although we did have another cake today as well.

We have a few birthday traditions, starting with presents on Mummy and Daddy's bed.

The made by mummy Birthday Dress. She also received her quilt, some books, and her very own Barbie Doll.

Then a special breakfast. Unfortunately for her sisters, Pippi's favourite breakfast is porridge, not a big hit as a special breakfast for her sisters..........

We always celebrate with a party. For this one Pippi's best friend Eleanor and her family joined us for a BBQ. Pippi's only requests for her Birthday were balloons and candles. Pleasing 2 year olds is so simple. So there were plenty of balloons hanging in the trees and of course candles on the cake.

We made her an ice cream cake with smarties and strawberries mixed through. Decorated with more smarties and strawberries. Served with a
side of jelly.

That was Philippa's special day. We love you Pippi our family would not be the same without you.

About Me

I am a stay at home mum to three lovely daughters and one Husband, Scott. We are living as expats in Switzerland. These are certainly big influences to my life but why I began this blog is because I love all things sewy. Leaving the workforce to become a Mum gave me the time and inclination to find a hobby, my Great Aunt Joyce inspired me to try needle work. She was an amazing embroiderer, but having dabbled in this as a kid with my Grandma I knew it was to slow going for me. I needed something that gave me gratification much more quickly and was more useful not just pretty, so i tried quilting. With only a pair of scissors, needle, fabric and thread I made my first quilt and fell in love with fabric and all things sewy! I still sew quilts, mostly with a machine these days. I also love to sew for my daughters, actually I love to sew anything, even Fumberlants.
